@skry Indeed; I didn't mention @RocketChat because AIUI it relies on you self-hosting it (I may be wrong), which can be a big barrier when you just want to write software and offer some level of community support for it, but don't want to become an impromptu sysadmin.

@mattcen @RocketChat Indeed. As a non-sysadmin, if I were to try to start one I would probably do it via Sandstorm. What do you think about that as a solution for hosting apps? apps.sandstorm.io/

@skry I haven't looked into it in a long time, though I helped crowd-fund it (indiegogo.com/projects/sandsto).
It could be viable, bit is still a non-zero barrier to entry though (a) knowing a hosting service exists and potentially (b) having to pay for the hosting if your needs exceed that of a free tier.
